One may see in the rider of the Frick Collection the symbol of the Christian Soldier — ibe
Miles Christianus — or see an ideał portrait of Gysbreeht van Aemstel, the legendary Dutch
hero 37. One may even associate the rider with the young mounted Hellenes of the Parthenon
friese, or with the German knight of Bamberg. But, whatever generał idea has been embodied
in the picture, the objective, intangible matter of the picture testifies that Rembrandi, had
before his eyes when painting it an actual Polish rider who, according to the tradition and
historical association, may be conyentionally called the Lisowczyk.
